Lindsey Vonn kneels for a "Tebowing" pose after winning the World Cup super-G on Wednesday at the Beaver Creek Birds of Prey.

BEAVER CREEK — Lindsey Vonn has a new fan who knows a thing or two about great athletes who transcend their sports — Robby Tebow.

Tim Tebow’s brother was part of the “Vonntourage” Wednesday when she won a World Cup super-G on Beaver Creek’s Birds of Prey.

Vonn, who is divorcing Thomas Vonn after four years of marriage, says she is not dating anyone, and when asked specifically about Robby Tebow, insisted they are just friends. But they clearly are good friends. Robby Tebow congratulated Vonn in the finish area after her win, and she spent a few minutes chatting with him in a VIP tent after her winner’s press conference.

“This is my first ski race,” Tebow said. “It was awesome. I told her I’m her good luck charm, because this is the first time she’s won in America. It was fun, it was a lot of fun, the crowd was awesome, they’re very supportive since Lindsey’s the hometown girl. It was pretty cool.”

Tebow might have grown up in Florida, but he could see Vonn’s obvious athletic ability.

“Unbelievable,” he said. “So talented, skilled and best at her craft. It’s really neat to see.”

Vonn did the “Tebow” move in front of the awards podium — after discussing it first with Robby.

“I asked him if Tim would be upset if I did it,” Vonn said. “I said that if I won in Colorado, I would do it, ‘Go Broncos.’ And I did it. Gotta represent.”

News that Colorado Rapids general manager Jeff Plush was leaving the club leaked slowly on Twitter long before it was confirmed by traditional media outlets. The following Storify is by no means all-encompassing, but it highlights much of the Twitter chatter that led up to the official word of Plush’s ouster:
